Retail Therapy For a Cause: The Bailey Angel Baio Foundation

Isn’t it awesome when Retail Therapy and charity collide? Everyone benefits. Such was the case at the Celebrity Baby Yard Sale held by the Bailey Angel Baio Foundation in Los Angeles. Check out our video for an interview with Scott Baio, what he says his wife Renee’s retail therapy choices are and what some of the event attendees had to say about retail therapy.

This event helped out kids with metabolic disorders and was a great place to score a deal and bragging rights to tell people your kids are walking in (pre owned) celeb (toddler) shoes. Several celebrities donated their kid’s hand me downs. The sale included pre owned items autographed by Dennis Quaid and items donated by Kristy Swanson and Samantha Harris.

Not all the goods were used, however, several companies stepped up to  contribute to the event, offerring  new, premium consumer goods at discount prices.  Shoppers left on a retail therapy high and over $16,000 was raised for the cause.  A healthy haul!

Companies that sponsored the event with goods and services included:

• StrideRite Donated over 500 paris of adorable baby and toddler shoes from Stride Rite’s own line as well as Saucony and Robeez selections
• Boon Baby accessories (see Boon Inc. Retail Therapy uses here)
